Lea Sternthal (Canskate Coach)

Number of Years of Coaching Experience:

Program Assistant for 5 years.
First year coaching at March Kanata Skating Club

Philosophy:

I believe that learning to skate is possible for anyone at any age. Skating is an enjoyable sport that can be shared with friends and family. Being a Canskater can build skills and confidence
and make great memories. The smile on a Canskater’s face when they realize that they can skate fast or jump over a line is truly inspirational and rewarding for me as a coach. I strive to
make Canskate as fun as possible for everyone.
